The internet is useful in many ways, however sometimes there can be risks
and dangers, such as stolen personal data and cyber bullying. People with
a learning disability are especially at risk of being hurt, so to tackle this, the
SafeSurfing project created its own internet safety training.
This training aims to support people with a learning disability to know
what personal information they should share online, how to protect their
personal data, and surf the web safely.
The training is broken down into the following modules:
1. How to use the internet safely and protect my personal data
2. Dangers of the internet
3. How to stay safe using the internet and apps
4. Facebook and browser safety
5. Summary of what we have learnt
The SafeSurfing Project was carried out with support from the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship Programme of the European Union, in partnership with Inclusion Europe.
